autoconf: Allow overriding CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS from outside.
As is normal for autoconf-based projects. For example, it is a common use case to do ./configure CXXFLAGS=-O0 This did not work for nix until now, because the `CXXFLAGS=` declaration would unconditionally erase what the user had specified. The custom `OPTIMIZE` flag is removed, but the default `-O3` is retained; autoconf would default to `-g -O2` by default otherwise as documented on: https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.60/html_node/C-Compiler.html https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.60/html_node/C_002b_002b-Compiler.html
